Calling all 40-60Something Males? Older Women ARE better!
Posted: 3/12/2008 11:10:46 AM

It makes some practical sense for older men to pursue younger women. If we manage to catch one who is a keeper, we've got a partner who can be a help mate during our infirmed years


Ya but women statically live longer than men anyway.

Same guy story #2. He shows up in Saleen Mustang. All turbo charged. So I tell him I want to drive. Hot car, sunny day, so I naturally cranked up the tunes
He turns the radio down. I said Look dude, I’m at the controls now and your just riding shotgun. So I turned it up. So he told me to turn into the saw shop. Had to get something. He gets his purchase. Ear plugs and put them in. lol Now we could cruise!


***And when U pull out the old LP and the GF is wondering if it's an unusually large CD there might be too much age difference.

***When you tell her you want to listen to the Beatles and she thinks you need an exterminator there might be too much age difference.

***When you go to Mc Donald’s and she needs to know the toy of the month before ordering her happy meal there might be too much age difference.

Any more out there.....

You pull out the Disturbed CD and she says who is that, there could be too much age difference.

You want too listen to God Smack, and she thinks your a Devil worshiper there could be too much age difference.

You go too McDonalds and you get upset you didn't get your toy, there could be too big of an age difference.

OK, these were all done in fun, so don't get all huffy about it. Although I do listen to the above bands, so shoot me.

Greetings,
Am here purely for dating, and will be 41 in 4 days. Everyone have their tastes and we all know they vary, but for me, as long as the woman is physically appealing , and is personable, age is moot. However, i find that North American society is very obsessed with age, and as a result, alot of people incorporate that into their psyche in dating, and it inevitably leads to some of the issues you alluded to.

Take care and have a lovely day, and remember the saying, patience is virtue and hopes springs eternal.

Happy Fishing.

What's with these 18-30 yr. olds that want a woman my age. Is there a lack of 40-60 yr. olds that want a relationship? I know these cute young guys are really Hott to Trott, but dang, give an ole lady a break. They're looking for flings, I'm not into that. Maybe I'm missing out, but I don't, at my age, want to start a conversation about Elmo, Dora, or Big Bird!

Like the name. Why would a woman who gazes on such beauty ever want something as ugly "giving in"? While I have to agree that it's a safe bet (translate sterotype) that men prefer younger women that is not always the case. My best friend married a gal 14 years his senior and had a great relationship till his death. If a guy says your too old and does not want anythign serious he is not the right one anyway. Theres someone out ther for you, remember the motto, plenty of fish. the old parrothead

ps if it means anything i wont date a woman that is ten years younger than i am for anything. cant see anythig good could come of it for me anyway.

All i can say is i do like women younger than me. 5 maybe 10 years at the most. I am 45 and not to long ago was dating a 25 year old. The sex was great. As a matter of fact she told me that she would rather have men my age. She never told me why. We broke up but we are still friends. Don't ask me why but for some reason i felt out of place with her so i moved on. Sometimes things just don't work out. Now' I stick around close to my age. I just think it's better that way.

We have more in common.

Nah! I certainly wouldn't rule out a long term relationship with a woman simply because she was over a certain age. That would just be silly.

So in other words the sixty something guy was looking for a 20-40 year old? That in itself is laughable. Dont waste your time on that kind of moron, for he isn't really looking for a lasting relationship. My life began in my late 40's-when I was divorced, my son was grown and gone. The age thing is a crock...I rather like guys my age as I have lots more in common with them, and it makes us more relaxed. The most important thing is who we are inside. Hold your head up and be proud of yourself and don't look back for a second at that old geezer.

I don't know. If a 40 something woman wants me, why should I beat her off, or even care what other people think? So long as people enjoy each other, who cares. Nobody knows what the future will bring, they only assume they know what the future will bring. It is also true that lots of people want to just enjoy the moment, and the whole concept of "long term" never enters their mind. People who are divorced usually realize that you can't presume that a relationship will last forever, and that reality is something that you definitely get used to, in my view.

I admit to preferring women more my age than dramatically younger, especially post-menopausal women, as I don't want to father any more kids. However, I hardly think it "laughable" when I see relationships with significant age differences.

As to the most important thing being who we are inside, that is somewhat true on an emotional level, but just because someone is a good person inside is hardly a compensation for who they are outside, if that is not compatible with the lifestyle and needs of the partner. Its the entire package that makes the potential for the relationship.

Historically, many men have taken up with younger women, and this site is full of mature women who specifically specify that they only want (much) younger men. Are these cases all "laughable"? I think not.

Age matters if it matters to you. I personally would go the other way and say that dating a gal yougn enough to want kids for herself is right out. I would be reluctant to date a gal in her thirties or early forties because of the age difference. I mean to me I am fifty two, from a short lived (on the male side) family and over 6'4 (a health risk which brings with it a death rate on average about five years sooner than others) i am serious, personally, about making the third time a charm. wont settle for just anything or just anyone. however i am thinking about my partner too. i dont want to get involved with someone who might end up feeling obligated to taking care of me if i cant take care of myself. nor would i want someone left alone after a brief relationshi and having a long time to live and look again. nah, for this old parrothead i want the age to be pretty close. then we can look for the other stuff and maybe make some magic. hope this helps.

Do older men seriously believe that catching a younger women will help them when they become infirmed and need care? Got news for you. Unless you are loaded which will keep a younger women entertained she will proably decided to dump you for a younger man, or find entertainment with a younger man on the side. Older women are less likely to do that.

I thought the stance of older women already was that us guys are essentially "infirmed and need care" (or "help - big time")... So there's no "when" about it.

But do you mean to say all that stuff about how loving, caring, and nurturing women naturally are is all just a bunch of BS?

But at least it was tons of fun while it lasted.

However, I am glad to finally get the lowdown and all the poop on chicks from one who's been there and knows the lay of the land.

Let's face it all, sometimes you have too open up to different age brackets. I personally would love to date someone within 5 years either way of my age. Sometimes people your own age thing they are too good for you and want something more. I'm refering too both sexes and not downing just one.

People on these sites tend too want something they are not capable of getting they want skinny models or George Clooney types. Let's face it if your good looking you want good looking at your side. Alot of people can't get past that these days. Therefore they miss out on the one that probably could have made them feel like kings or queens.

It's mostly numbers, there are apparently more women available for dating in the 35-45 age group than the 45-55 group, even less in the 55-65 age group. Personally, I don't feel comfortable more than 5-10 years outside my age group, but that's my problem.
I think a 60 year old guy who passes up a HOT 53 or 54 year old woman because of her age is an idiot. Call me.

My Dear Woman,
I am in that age range (60) & to be perfectly honest with you. I, myself prefer the mature woman over the flighty skinny ones...The mature woman is more experienced and much more fun to be with..Just be yourself & you will find what you are looking for...

I read the 1st page and the OP's 1st response. After reading it to me it seemed she had a chip on her shoulder or something against men however I could have not understood her rantings.

I will say this from my own experience being in this category middle aged of 47. I've dated my age, much younger, much older. And feel that I really don't want to be with someone in there 20's as there is an emotional immaturity which is normal. Really a woman with experience, maturity, pleasing personality, great smile, willing to do what it takes to please another and willing for the other that wants to please them goes a long way....

The gentleman you referenced gives men in this age bracket a bad name. I'm usually attracted to women close to my age.

I think one should date whatever age is comfortable to them. I'm 46 and usually date from late 30's to early 50's. I found that I didn't have much in common with the younger 30's men.
